How to loop Youtube videos: The manual way
A normal Youtube video URL looks like this one here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX5cAzP8wzY
However, you can also access the Youtube video directly and open it in a fullscreen flash-mode that allows you to pass parameters like loop and autoplay via the URL.
So, if you want to loop a Youtube video, simply rewrite the URL a little bit to make it looks like this:
http://www.youtube.com/v/lX5cAzP8wzY&loop=1&autoplay=1
What changed? Remove watch?v= and replace it with v/, then add the parameters &loop=1 and &autoplay=1 at the end of the URL

you can type repeat between youtube and .com
Not working properly; it opens to fullscreen, flash mode, but won’t either loop nor autostart. ???
Waiting for a solution, another option is to add “-loop” after youtube in the url to connect it to a site that loops it for free.
Excuse me, please. My mistake, or so. I set the parameters at the very end of the url, after where there was for that video in particular more parameters (player embedded, etc.) Must be set to work “loop” and “autoplay” right before any other parameter in the url.Now working alright, thank you!
